Alvaro Morata put in the complete striker's performance to beat Manchester Untied at Stamford Bridge according to the Premier League all-time top scorer Alan Shearer.

Chelsea won the game 1-0 thanks to the Spaniard who headed home a cross by Cesar Azpilicueta to put the hosts in front.

Jose Mourinho set his side out to play with a back three in order to match his opponent's numbers in attack yet the visitors could not cope with the movement and quality of the former Real Madrid poacher.

Speaking on the BBC's Match of the Day 2, Shearer praised Morata for his display and listed out all the qualities he had shown against United to take control of the game in the final third.

"When you talk about what you want from a centre-forward in a very good performance," said the former England captain. "You want a goal or goals, you want him to have a good touch to people into the game, you want him to ask questions going the other and you want him to bully the defenders.

"He did all of those things today. They couldn’t live with him, [Eric] Bailly, [Phil] Jones and [Chris] Smalling."

Morata's work off the ball put forced Jones into putting the ball into the back of his own net but his own goal was ruled out after the Spaniard was judged to have pushed the defender.

However, the Chelsea striker showed that he could do more than just overpower his markers.

"He ran in behind, one-on-one. His movement is superb," said Shearer. "He didn’t have much chance with the ball but he made the best of it. Every time he’s asking questions - too clever for Jones. Brilliant hold-up play.

"The three guys [in United’s defence] haven’t got a clue how to mark him. They don’t know where he is."
